A man suspected of tying up his ex-girlfriend and shooting her in the leg was arrested Thursday in the Spokane Valley, according to the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office.
Daniel Johnson, 48, was apprehended at 1 p.m. at the 5550 N. Mayhew, according to a news release. He had been on the run since Oct. 9, when he fled from authorities during a traffic stop.
During the search of his vehicle, deputies discovered a video where a woman appeared to be tied up and tortured. Later that night, a woman identifying herself as Johnson’s ex-girlfriend checked herself into Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center with bruises and a gunshot wound to the leg.
Johnson, who has a lengthy criminal history including burglary and car theft, was arrested for first degree assault and first degree kidnapping.
